yep sounds about right

now if you had a standard 850 you should be able to more than 1/2 that

[oli8925]

yep. if i were you id keep it original and stick to an 850. by keeping it standard your premium will be a lot lower. and there isnt really any need to go 1275, especially at your age

i think about 1500 for a 998

[Beddo88]

I'm with tesco with a 998, worked out just under 600. But i got quotes up to aroudn that mark when i first started looking. To be honest though, if you can find somewhere that'll insure a 1275 cheap at 17... i'm pretty sure half the people on here will be very interested. Gotta back jammy on this one!!

[rich449]

So come on then...........

Tell us about the clubby

[yorkshirechris]

In a moment of madness I spotted a really REALLY nice looking clubman whilst at work... I went to tell the owner about LCMOC and it was a guy I know from LCMOC itself... (they have 7 minis between them him and his son so I didnt know about that one!) and he said it's for sale...

I went up and had a look round it and a little spin in it, it's a solid car but needs a bit of TLC and it would mean me spending.. literally.. all my savings on it just to buy it and service it so the sensible part of me decided not to go for it...

Tis very nice though!

Forgot to add it is a 1275 but I got quotes for a 998 because it's on the logbook as that*
